About the location (from Wiki):
Rundle Mall is the premiere retail area in the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. It was opened as Australia’s first pedestrian street mall in September 1976 by closing Rundle Street to traffic between King William Street and Pulteney Street. The street continues as Rundle Street to the east and Hindley Street to the west. The area is one of the most expensive land areas in Adelaide and is considered one of the most important retail centres in the city, competing with the large shopping complexes in the suburbs such as Westfield Marion. Retail spaces directly on the mall can lease for up to $3,700 per square metre per year. The mall is home to the South Australian flagship stores of many large Australian retailers and a large number smaller independent and chain stores. The mall also features a number of arcades and plazas containing smaller boutiques and eateries. These include the Italianate styled Regent Arcade (also being the first retail establishment in Australia with electrical lighting, and allegedly home to six ghosts), Adelaide Arcade, Gays Arcade, City Cross, Southern Cross, Adelaide Central Plaza, Myer Centre and Renaissance Arcade. There are usually several buskers performing in the mall, licensed by the Adelaide City Council. The mall’s stores are generally open seven days a week.
